[QUOTE="woods, post: 302926, member: 6042"] Hey AJ, I will reload a belted case 7 times and then develop a new set. Again, the reason I discard and start with new is NOT because they have become hard to chamber but because of the POSSIBILITY of a case head separation. Brass is much cheaper than guns or physical parts of my body. Even if I were to use the Innovative die I would still discard the cases after 7 firings because they do nothing to alleviate head clearance stretching on new cases or thinning at the web for any reason. kraky, somewhere in the previous postings I have seen where the bulge is attributed to regular dies pushing brass toward the belt. But in your post you say you are getting the same thing in an unbelted case. How could that be? Could it be that bulges and such are a result of die and chamber internal dimensions? I have a 280AI that has a hard time chambering after the 4th round because of the bulge at the pressure ring. It is a direct result of a tight chamber and a Redding Body Die that is not small enough to size the pressure ring area. Eventually I will get Redding to make me one a bit smaller and I will be good to go.
